Abstract:
Ischemic stroke ( IS ) due to giant cell arteritis ( GCA ) is rare, but highly mortal. Here, we report a 72‐year‐old man who showed frequent IS with GCA . Initial therapy with prednisolone increased the frequency of IS , which disappeared after continuous multi‐modal combination therapy with corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents, antiplatelets, and statin. The present case was discharged with independent walk, suggesting that a multi‐modal combination therapy rescued the GCA patient from frequent IS .
